This summer, BMW is releasing a slew of significant upgrades for the majority of its vehicles. Older and newer models, such as the BMW 1 Series and the 2 Series Gran Coupe, are included. Following our announcement that the BMW 1 Series would receive the BMW Individual treatment, allowing you further to customize your car’s exterior paint than before, it appears that the Germans have even bigger plans for it.
Beginning in July, the 1 Series models will be infused with more practicality, as they are no longer the athletes they once were. BMW’s switch from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive architecture may have irritated some people and diluted the driving experience. But it does have some benefits that we can’t deny. The most important is that the new hatches are much more usable, with more space and comfort than ever.
That number will rise even more as the 1 Series receives a new cargo function as an optional feature. You can also get reclining rear seats. By adjusting the seatbacks, you can gain up to 40 litres of boot space, making a difference in a car with a total luggage capacity of 380 litres. A new stowage net will be installed on the right side of the luggage compartment in the new cars.
But that’s not all. In addition, the BMW 1 Series will be available in new exterior colour. The compact five-door car will also be available in the Snapper Rocks Blue Metallic colour variant in the future. Phytonic Blue metallic and Skyscraper Grey metallic are two new exterior finishes for the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. In addition to the colour palette. These colours were previously unavailable on entry-level BMWs and should be a welcome addition for those in the market for a new ride.
